Paranoia

An article proving once again that conservatism is not a politics, but a diagnosis:

Well, what’s the big deal about it making [the census] voluntary, then?

This question astounds statists. “Voluntary” defeats the purpose. The census is about coercion. Information is almost incidental. The long form’s function is to accustom respondents to being wards of the authorities.

Social engineers are prepared to put on a velvet glove if the Harper-government insists, but how can they plan, redistribute, regulate and expropriate without the iron fist? Long forms elicit information to serve the purposes and ideals of the centrally planned state. They have to be intrusive and obligatory.

Expense, statistical inadequacy, sample bias are all irrelevant. It's a plot. In the good old days, Hungarian ex-pat George Jonas would have appended the adjective "Communist," and mumbled about fluoridated water.

Stockwell Day was right. We walked with dinosaurs--and we continue to do so.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?Cheers!

Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thank you

Unquestіοnably believe that thаt you stated.Your favoгite reаson appeareԁ to be at the ωeb the simplest factor tο be aware of. I say to you, I certаinly gеt annoyеd whilst folks cοnsidеr concerns that they just dοn't understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as well as outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks

Can I just say what a relief to uncover someone who actually knows what they're discussing on the web. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people must read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you aren't more popular since you certainly have the gift.
